Configuring App Flow Monitor

BWM can also be configured from the App Flow Monitor page by selecting a service type application or a signature type application and then clicking the Create Rule button. The Bandwidth Management options available there depend on the enabled priority levels in the Global Priority Queue table on the Firewall Settings > BWM page. The priority levels enabled by default are High, Medium, and Low.

* 
NOTE: You must have SonicWall Application Visualization enabled before proceeding.
To configure BWM using the App Flow Monitor:
1
Navigate to the Dashboard > App Flow Monitor page.

2
Select the service-based applications or signature-based applications to which you want to apply global BWM.
* 
NOTE: General applications cannot be selected. Service-based applications and signature-based applications cannot be mixed in a single rule.

Creating a rule for service-based applications will result in creating a firewall access rule, and creating a rule for signature-based applications will create an application control policy.
3
Click Create Rule. The Create Rule pop-up is displayed.

4
Select the Bandwidth Manage radio button, and then select a global BWM priority.
5
Click Create Rule. A confirmation pop-up is displayed.

6
Click OK.
7
Navigate to Firewall > Access Rules page (for service-based applications) and Firewall > App Rules (for signature-based applications) to verify that the rule was created.
* 
NOTE: For service-based applications, the new rule is identified with a tack in the Comments column and a prefix in Service column of ~services=<servicename>. For example, ~services=NTP&t=1306361297.

For signature-based applications, the new rule is identified with a prefix, ~BWM_Global-<priority>=~catname=<app_name> in the Name column and in the Object column prefix ~catname=<app_name>.
